LEVERAGING A FEMTOCELL NETWORK FOR PREMISES MANAGEMENT OR MONITORING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system that leverages femtocell network infrastructure to facilitate premises management or monitoring, comprising:
- a communication component that interfaces to a home nodeB (HNB) device that operates at a premises associated with a management or monitoring service; and
a sensor management component that receives state information from at least one sensor, wherein the state information relates to a state of the premises detected by the at least one sensor in accordance with the management or monitoring service.

13. A system that employs a femtocell network to facilitate a premises management or monitoring service, comprising:
-
an interface component that is configured to interface to a set of home nodeB (HNB) devices, the interface component receives state information from a specific HNB device included in the set, wherein the state information is obtained by at least one sensor at a premises and relates to a state of the premises associated with a location of the specific HNB device; and a master management component that stores the state information to a data store in an account record associated with the specific HNB device or a user thereof; and
that employs the state information to provide a premises management or monitoring service. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
